Kunming Pool – Sunset Glow

To capture interactive photos with murals like this, utilize "forced perspective composition" to cleverly blend the subject's actions with the elements of the mural, such as the fun association between the figure's braids and the hippo in the image. Pay attention to color coordination, ensuring the subject's attire (white, black, light blue) matches the mural's color scheme for a harmonious image. Additionally, use light and shadow by choosing side light or diffused light to highlight the contours of the subject and the texture of the mural, enhancing the three-dimensional effect. This also guides the viewer's gaze to the creative interaction between the subject and the mural, making the image more narrative and interesting.

The model stands at a lower position on the shore, while the photographer stands at a higher position on the slope. By slightly shooting from a higher angle, a clean background can be achieved, and the telephoto lens compresses the scene. Use a reflector or flash to fill in light against the backlight. Photography pose: The model holds a sea star up with one hand close to the face, with a natural gesture.

When capturing scenes like this, you can use background elements to create a sense of story. Position the subject at the bottom of the frame, using the small panda information sign above as a visual extension. This creates a呼应 between the subject and the sign, adding interest. Encourage natural gestures (like a peace sign), use the glass reflection to blend into the environment, and pay attention to the subject's outfit colors to coordinate with the background. This will highlight the subject while maintaining a cohesive atmosphere in the image, making for lively and engaging photos.

It is recommended to use a telephoto lens and adopt a high-level flat shooting angle. Employ leading line composition, using the river and stone bridge as natural guiding lines to guide the viewer's eyes from the foreground water surface to the distant buildings. Include the foreground river, midground orange-red water fir forest and stone bridge, background city skyline, and sunset sky in the frame to enhance the sense of depth and layering in the image. 1. Travel tips: It is suggested to go for photography in the morning when there are fewer people and better lighting. 2. Blooming period: The best time for appreciation is early November.

When filming, make full use of the gorilla statue's design and the architectural environment of the Primate House. In terms of shot selection, close-ups can focus on capturing the characters' expressions and interaction details with the statue, highlighting the conveyance of emotions; medium shots can fully display the overall combination of characters and the statue, while incorporating some architectural elements of the Primate House, such as the entrance and signs, adding more narrative to the scene; long shots can capture the entire statue and the surrounding park environment, showcasing the overall atmosphere of the check-in location. Filming angles can be diversified, with low-angle shots emphasizing the grandeur and majesty of the gorilla statue, while making the characters appear more petite and adorable; slightly high-angle shots can better demonstrate the compositional relationship between the characters, the statue, and the venue, creating a unique visual effect.
